About 75 people – a majority of them children – attended “Animal Encounters,” a part of Camp Wannaread, an Epsom Public Library program designed to interest kids in reading. Seven-year-old Nancy Gregory (blue shirt) shies away from an albino giant python. Jocelyn Therrien, 9, is pictured left of Gregory. Derek Small (not pictured) brought exotic animals like this snake, a chinchilla and a bearded lizard.
